1998 Renault Megane RXE review from UK and Ireland
"Lots of equipment, good handling, shame about the service"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After 3 months the automatic gear box failed at 50,000 miles and is at the garage at the moment having a new one fitted. Luckily the warranty covered it as it is costing over 2000.00 pounds. Also have been having trouble starting it and have had to call out rescue services.
General comments?
The service department at my garage are the worst ever. The only loan car they could give me was a 91 Renault 5 which I had to insure myself at cost. This is after I told them I would need a loan car when I had booked it in over a week before. They told me tough. They also said they made everyone pay for a hire cars insurance which is new to me as I have never had to in the past and have not had accidents. I am really annoyed with them and not sure I would buy another car from any Renault garage just of principle.
